...after a split, in many cases it works like an unspoken prenuptial agreement. That is, you take those friends you brought to the marriage with you when you go. You also take the friends you use more often--the ones you work with or, if you're the custodial parent, the friends with kids. Often a sort of morality clause kicks in. People feel they should side with the spouse they perceive to have been wronged. The adulterer has a new love; the betrayed spouse gets the old friends...
...giving the government enough control to change management. Either way, millions of workers could be sacked as loans to nonperforming companies are cut off. Looks like Tanakana won't be relaxing anytime soon. THE BOURSE Smart Move Smart sold 116,000 cars in 2001, making DaimlerChrysler a proud parent. They're trying for a repeat in 2003 by releasing a Smart "sports car." But with its 3-cylinder engine, maybe it should be marketed as a "sport cute." Continental Drift Six Continents moved away from its roots as a British brewer, splitting its pubs from its hotels group. Shareholders will...
...according to figures from Swiss Labor Assistance, a workers' rights organization partly funded by the government and trade unions, some 535,000 people - 7.5% of the 7.2 million population, up from 5.5% in 1992 - now live below the poverty line of ?2,020 a month for a single parent with a child. Roughly half of that number are like Diaz, working full time but struggling at the lowest end of the salary scale. Two factors are largely to blame for swelling the ranks of the poor: an influx of immigrants that began in the 1960s and the recent economic downturn...

Cross-fertilization—the process by which different strains of a crop combine to produce a new organism containing genetic material from both parent strains—can only occur with whole grains. Crushing the kernel of a grain, known as milling, prevents it from reproducing and thus transmitting its genetic material to a daughter organism. Milling GM crops thus eliminates the danger of cross-fertilization and strain contamination by making it impossible for the crops to transmit their altered genes by reproduction...
